[Both:] 
Good lovin' ain't easy
Good lovin' ain't easy
Good lovin' ain't easy to come by
[Marvin:]
Oh, darlin', that's the kind you offer me
It's just the love to be found
[Tammi:] 
'Cause we're workin' on a buildin' nobody can tear down
[Both:] 
Look what we've got, ho-ho-ho-honey

[Both:] 
Good lovin' ain't easy
Good lovin' ain't easy, darlin'
Good lovin' ain't easy to come by, oh no no
[Marvin:]
I've tried the good life and I know
It's a playground where no one cares
[Tammi:] 
But at last you'll find out that don't compare
[Both:] 
To what we've got, ho-ho-ho-honey

[Both:] 
It takes more than just a song and dance
You've got to work and fight to give it a chance
[Marvin:]
If the rain comes down on us
And there ain't no place to run
[Tammi:] 
We'll just cover ourselves with a blanket of love
And wait till the mornin' comes
[Marvin:]
Oh baby, let's do it today
[Tammi:] 
Inflection
[Both:] 
Give us protection

[Both:] 
Good lovin' ain't easy to come by
[Marvin:]
Some think it's a plaything
You can toss away when it's old
[Tammi:] 
But when love's valued in pieces
It's worth more than gold
[Both:] 
That's what we've got

[To Fade:]
[Tammi:] 
Good lovin' ain't easy to come by
[Marvin:]
Oh, oh, it ain't easy
